+1.  Always use Notepad++ to edit your files.  Do not use text or automatic as it may insert/delete characters on the individual files when you upload them in your FTP Client, Binary is the only way to guarantee this does not happen.
+
+2.  Always back-up your files before you do any work. 
+
+3.  Always save your work, check the results and then close the file.  As long as the file is open you can return it to it's original state if there's a problem, once you close your back to locating the changes and manually changing them or replacing files with your back up copies.

+Okay, let's get started in getting Google Analytics to work on your site.
+
+1.  Go to google, open an account and get approved, once approved go to Google again and get a "Google Analytics" Account (it's free) and copy the code they give you, you'll need it for this mod.
+
+2.  Open /templates/base/_footer.html
+
+3.  Find the following code (It's on line 1 if your file is unmodified)
+{{{
+</body>
+</html>
+}}}
+
+Above this code paste the "Google Analytics" Code you obtained from Google.
+
+4.  Save your file.
+
+5.  Go check your site, you'll see all is well.
+
+*******************************************************************************
+
+Your _footer.html file will look like this when your done:
+
+{{{
+<script type="text/javascript">
+var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
+document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
+</script>
+<script type="text/javascript">
+try {
+var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-1234567-8");
+pageTracker._trackPageview();
+} catch(err) {}</script>
+ </body>
+ </html>
